[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga 2000 p/s problems

I have a couple problems with my Amiga 2000 and I'd like to bounce
them off the net.experts before I go to a repair shop.

My fan is intermittent.  It comes on loudly then goes quietly (but
still on) for a while.  The alternating just doesn't seem normal.

Recently my hard drive (a Seagate 251-1 w/GVP controller) loses power
a lot.  The electronics are all working (read requests make the light
flash) but the motor isn't receiving any power.  I have detached my
hard drive and am running off floppies for the time being.  I will get
a chance to test the hard drive on another machine in a week or so.

Are these related?  Is it a common break-down for a p/s to start not
giving power to certain things while giving it to others?  I've
checked all the connections and everything is plugged in right.

ADVthanksANCE.
